In just six short years, Shawn Mendes has built an incredible career. From a glee club in Canada, to Vine, to a World Tour, the "I Can't Have You" singer has turned in an action-packed first twenty years.

We asked Mendes about some of the songs that have shaped his life along the way. Shawn shares the first song he learned to play on guitar and the cover that caught everyone's attention, his glee club jam to his favorite Taylor Swift tune. This is Score My Life with Shawn Mendes.

"I would be lying if I didn't say Justin Bieber" smirks Shawn, when asked about his favorite Canadian artist growing up. "Everything off the 'My World' album, was my favorite song."
